Player Ratings
CELTIC (4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.4
JOE HART 6.5
Will be disappointed he was beaten at his near post but made one vital save from Arfield.
ANTHONY RALSTON 6 A few nervy moments early on against Kent but grew into the game the longer it went on.
CARL STARFELT 7 Always seemed to be in the right place whenever Rangers delivered high balls into the box.
C CARTER-VICKERS 7 Another strong showing from the man who’s on the SFWA Premiership Player of the Year shortlist.
GREG TAYLOR 6 The left-back kept Sakala quiet in the first half and got up the flank to support the attack.
MATT O’RILEY 6 Put in a decent shift but was not at his true best before being replaced by Tom Rogic.
REO HATATE 6 Unable to have the same influence as he had on the last Old Firm game at Celtic Park.
CALLUM McGREGOR 7 The Celtic skipper had his customary tidy game in the middle of the park on derby day.
JOTA 7 Scored and should have helped himself to a second. Celtic’s biggest danger man.
KYOGO FURUHASHI 6 Celtic talisman was not at his usual dangerous best before making way for Giakoumakis.
DAIZEN MAEDA 6 Incredible energy but better finishing would have seen the Japan star hit the net twice.
SUBSTITUTES Nir Bitton (O’Riley 61), Giorgos Giakoumakis (Kyogo 61), Tom Rogic (Hatate 61), Liel Abada (Maeda 78). Not used: Bain, Turnbull, McCarthy, Forrest, Welsh.
ANGE POSTECOGLOU 6 A point is a good result but the Celtic boss will be disappointed his side only managed one shot on target. RANGERS (4-2-3-1) TEAM AVERAGE 6.5
ALLAN McGREGOR 6.5 Veteran had no chance at Jota’s goal and had virtually nothing to do in the second half.
JAMES TAVERNIER 6.5 Initially overworked due to Sakala’s failure to track back but attacked more after the break.
CONNOR GOLDSON 7 Strong performance developed into an intriguing physical battle with Giakoumakis.
CALVIN BASSEY 7 Nigeria international continued a fine season with another good performance.
BORNA BARISIC 5 As with Liel Abada’s goal in February, Croat was caught napping at the back post as Jota scored.
JOHN LUNDSTRAM 7.5 Impressive midfielder has developed into one of the first names on the Rangers team sheet.
STEVEN DAVIS 7 Showed his unflappable quality in the centre of the park before making way for Ryan Jack.
FASHION SAKALA 5.5 Was having an awful game then popped up with a fine goal and should have netted a late winner.
SCOTT ARFIELD 6.5 Put in a steady shift and but for a good save by Hart could have secured a big three points.
RYAN KENT 7
Looked like he could make something happen but missed a similar chance to Jota’s goal.
JOE ARIBO 6 Nigeria international has lovely close control but failed to trouble the Celtic defence.
SUBSTITUTES Scott Wright (Aribo 63), Ryan Jack (Davis 63), Amad Diallo (Arfield 87). Not used: McLaughlin, Itten, Kamara, Sands, King, Lowry.
GIO VAN BRONCKHORST 6 Mixed emotions after a strong second-half performance did not yield the win Rangers needed.
REFEREE JOHN BEATON 6.5 Inadvertently tripped up Matt O’Riley but otherwise an afternoon free of real controversy.
